Buckley, William F. Last Call For Blackford Oakes
Harcourt 2005 0151010854 / 9780151010851 First Edition Hard Cover Fine Fine
Near-new condition. Appears unread. NO remainder marks or price clippings. Stated First Edition. 353 pages. Tight spine. bright pages. NO writing, marks or tears inside book. Synopsis: More than twenty years ago William F. Buckley Jr. launched the dashing character of Blackford Oakes like a missile over the literary landscape. This newly minted CIA agent-brainy, bold, and complex-began his career by saving the queen of England and quickly took his place in the pantheon of master spies drawn up by Somerset Maugham, Graham Greene, and John le Carré. Against the backdrop of sinister Cold War intrigue, in this, his eleventh outing, Oakes crosses paths-and swords-with Kim Philby, perhaps the highest-ranking in the parade of defectors to the Soviet Union. Oakes is now himself a master spy, working outside of the agency and around agency rules. His romance with an able and worldly Soviet doctor provides consolation for the death of his beloved Sally. But after his return to Washington, he receives dismaying news. It is inevitable that the great Soviet spy and the renowned American agent will meet again-this time with deadly consequences. The New York Times - Charlie Rubin: [Last Call] has a soul. And its elaborate canvas almost requires you to savor the overall achievements of the Oakes series, which, at its best, evokes John O'Hara in its precise sense of place amid simmering class hierarchies. For Buckley that means depicting a specialized elite and battle-ready corporate class: the international C.I.A. community of the 1950's to the 80's, with its disorders, fragile commitments, secret victories, self-righteousness and, occasionally, honor. Biography: WILLIAM F. BUCKLEY JR. is the founder of National Review and was the host of Firing Line, one of television's longest-running programs. The author of seventeen other novels, including Who's on First; Marco Polo, If You Can; and High Jinx, he lives in Connecticut.

Panero, James; Beck, Stefan (Editors); Buckley Jr., William F.; Hart, Jeffrey (Additional Commentary) The Dartmouth Review Pleads Innocent: Twenty-Five Years of Being Threatened, Impugned, Vandalized, Sued, Suspended, and Bitten at the Ivy League's Most Controversial Conservative Newspaper
Wilmington, Delaware ISI Books 2006 1932236937 / 9781932236934 Hard Cover Fine Fine
Photo of this book is available. Like-new copy. Appears unread. NO remainder marks or price clippings. Price inside dustcover: $25.00. 361 pages. NO writing, marks or tears. Tight spine, bright pages. Synopsis In 1980, disaffected editors from the student daily of Dartmouth College founded an off-campus conservative newspaper known as The Dartmouth Review. For twenty-five years, this renegade student publication, funded largely by discontented alumni, has made national headlines through its unique, provocative, and controversial brand of journalism. In doing so, The Dartmouth Review has shined a spotlight on the progressively liberal assumptions of Dartmouth College and of higher education, radically changing the terms of campus debate. This anthology presents the history of The Dartmouth Review in its own words, featuring the student writings of the leading conservative journalists of the Reagan era to the present. It also presents the story of a newspaper under constant attack by a liberal ideology that seeks to silence dissent--and the triumph of that newspaper over those attacks. Featuring additional commentary by William F. Buckley Jr. and Jeffrey Hart, this volume recounts an important chapter in the history of campus activism, Dartmouth College, and the American conservative movement.
